Objective / Careers:

Pre-licensing requirement for real estate agent or real estate broker license.

Registration and Course Length:

  • The California Real Estate Practices Course is the second of three mandatory courses for all potential California real estate licensees. This course discusses practical topics for establishing a successful real estate career.
  • The Real Estate Practice consists of spending a minimum of a 45-hours reading and studying the course textbook, and passing a final examination.
  • In addition, the course covers implicit bias, exploring its effects on consumers, the historical and social implications, and how to recognize and address personal biases. It also delves into federal and state fair housing laws, offering practical role-playing exercises for students as consumers and real estate professionals.
  • A component covering federal and state fair housing laws and their application in real estate practice will be introduced, as mandated by the new law. This addition includes an interactive participatory segment where students will engage in role-playing exercises, taking on the roles of both consumers and real estate professionals. Please be prepared to attend a 2.5-hour Zoom or Facetime session to fulfill this requirement before you proceed to take the final exam.
  • No two courses can be completed in less than five weeks.
  • It is very important that the name used when submitting materials to the school is spelled exactly the same as the name under which you will be applying for your real estate license examination.
  • The final exam can be conducted under the supervision of a proctor, or it can be completed online with positive ID verification. Please ensure your ID, camera, internet connection, and browser are ready before you take the final exam.
  • Students can take the final exam 18 days after they start the course. If a student doesn’t score at least 70% and fails the exam, they must wait 18 days before they can try one more time. If they don’t pass on their second try, they will have to take the course again.
  • The student has a minimum of 2 ½ weeks studying the course. The maximum time a student has to complete the course is 12 months from the date of registration. If the final exam is not completed within this time, the course is expired and no credit will be given toward any part. If the student does not complete the course within the one year period, the student needs to re-enroll as a new student and pay the full tuition fee.
